The nectar of satisfaction | Arthashastra 313

सन्तोषामृततृप्तानां यत्सुखं शान्तिरेव च।

न च तद्धनलुब्धानमितश्चेतश्च धावताम् ।।

The pleasure, which the persons content with the nectar of satisfaction, receive is inaccessible to those who hanker after money.

According to Chanakya, satisfaction is achievable through one’s bent of mind and not owing to any external factor. Whereas, those who hanker after money; never derive satisfaction, those with this bent achieve it easily.
